Chapter 35: Intentions
When he went over to pull Shen Nanyan over, he seemed to see Song Heng sitting next to his sister.
Yes, even if he was sitting next to his sister, the matter of that talent should have reached his ears word for word, why didn't Song Heng make a sound to solve the siege.
Could it be that he is troublesome, or is he afraid of offending civil and military officials?
Although Song Heng is his king, he is usually too cautious to be cautious. He grew up with him from a young age, and he could trust his character.
To be precise, Song Heng did not relieve his sister roughly because most of the people were targeting his sister at that time, and if the siege was lifted at that time, I am afraid it would not be conducive to the stability of the court situation.
Song Heng's approach is not wrong, he can understand the overall situation, but he doesn't dare to agree, Shen Nanyan is his sister who is relieved to feel at the tip of his heart, the only young lady of their Shen family, and how can Song Heng be a person who can be abandoned at will.
It was a shame that he was still very supportive of Song Heng at that time, and he opposed his sister to like Mu Zhao, and asked Mu Zhao to break his sister's infatuation with a shy face, and how painful it should be to be cut off by the person he liked.
Shen Jin was about to look at Song Heng, when he heard his sister's cold, cold-like voice sound: "Miss Zhao has no rank, here to arbitrarily insult and slander the court officials, I can't see it for a while before I took action to remind Miss Zhao, if it is known by someone with a heart, I am afraid that Miss Zhao will no longer be slapped in this way." ”
What the? Which court official did you insult?
Everyone had a puzzled expression on their faces and looked at Shen Nanyan.
Miss Zhao also looked at Shen Nanyan with a puzzled face, hoping to give herself an explanation.
"I know, I know." Cheng Qi came out of the crowd and said: "Miss Zhao did slander the court officials, that person is still Mu Gongzi, Miss Zhao said that Miss Shen and Mu Gongzi are the same people, fake benevolence and false righteousness, pretend to be a gesture, disgusting." ”
Although it was a narration of Miss Zhao's words, Cheng Qi was still a little awkward after saying it, as if he was scolding Shen Nanyan.
Shen Jin unconsciously looked at Song Heng, seeing his increasingly clenched fists and Tie Qing's face, pursed his mouth and did not speak, his expression was ever-changing.
I thought I had offended a big man, but I didn't expect it to be him. The prince of the family showed a look of disdain on his face, and the nobles did not look disdainful, and the malice in their eyes when they looked at Shen Nanyan was deeper, and they wanted to scratch her face and eyes. With who she is, she dares to think about Mu Gongzi, and they don't see her reaction when they slander her like this, and sit quietly on the seat. When he talked about Mu Zhao, he was so excited and spoke up.
Don't look at these noble ladies admiring and appreciating Mu Zhao so much, in fact, their attitude towards Mu Zhao is no different from that of the children of the family, who disdain Mu Zhao's life experience and are also jealous of Mu Zhao's appearance and talent. While admiring the gentleman who admires Mu Zhao as a jade, the gentleman is as gentle as jade, she secretly has a bad life experience for her.
The other nobles didn't think so, thinking that Shen Nanyan said Mu Zhao's name to cover up the slap she had just given to Miss Zhao, and when they were excitedly talking about this possibility with the other nobles, the other nobles stared at them with foolish eyes.
Who doesn't know that the Shen family and the Cheng family, who took the business path, the queen's mother family, the Murong family, and the Jade Concubine's mother family, the Li family, are both the four major families of the Great Liang, and the status and wealth do not need to be detailed, even if the emerging nobles accumulate for a hundred years, they are beyond reach. Although Cheng Mu's surname is Cheng, he does not belong to the Cheng family of the four great families, and his status with Cheng Qi is one heaven and one underground. This is why no one in the Cheng family has entered the official career, and why Cheng Qi is on the list of invitations every time. The palace held a poetry meeting, and the queen also sent someone to send a post.
Miss Zhao's father is a second-class official, or the kind of official with real power, thinking that the Shen family has been taken over the military power, and he can compare to him, but in fact, he is dreaming. How could the glory of the Shen clan be covered up by a new aristocrat like the Zhao clan?
Most of the noblewomen who spoke out their contempt were just the daughters of emerging aristocratic families like Miss Zhao who didn't know it, and like other high-ranking nobles, even if they were disdainful and disdainful, how could they say it so blatantly.
After Cheng Qi reminded her, Miss Zhao remembered that she had indeed said that sentence this time, although everyone called Mu Zhao Mu Gongzi, in fact, he was a genuine court official, and his official position was higher than Shen Jin's.
From the fourth grade, it is indeed good for the children of the family, some people can study hard for many years to become the eighth grade, and then promoted step by step until the gray hair, maybe they can be the first grade. It is those new nobles who have not done a big thing before they are promoted. In other words, today's Great Liang Dynasty is definitely not a person who can become an official by virtue of his family status, even if he wants to be a descendant of Mengze, the official position is generally not too high. Now even the prime minister's son has to rely on his true talent to learn from Jinshi, and once it can be seen how good Mu Zhao is.
Because his father is also an official in the court, it is easy to be confused. In order to distinguish him from his father, one was called Mu Da and the other was Mu Gongzi.
Knowing that he was at a loss, Shen Nanyan's slap on his own was justified, if he was entangled like this, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he found an excuse and left.
A farce ended like this, and Shen Nanyan's behavior reminded everyone that she was not easy to bully.
In this way, even if everyone is dissatisfied with her, they have to hold back.
The queen gave a look and motioned for Lile to continue.
"In the third round of rules, each lady needs to compose a poem within the hour of a stick of incense, which requires deep affection, beautiful words, and novel ideas. After the completion, the queen mother, the jade concubine, and the Lan concubine choose the best one to win. ”
After the rules were announced, the preparation time for a cup of tea had just begun, and the ladies who had entered the third round had already arrived on the field one after another.
"Let's get on the field." Shen Jin looked at Shen Nanyan and stopped talking, and finally sighed.
Shen Nanyan nodded and walked to the field.
The four nobles selected are all good-looking, Murong Qingyao, the second daughter of the Imperial Doctor's family, is delicate and soft, with a bookish atmosphere, and Princess Xile Song Yuan is even more good-looking, with bright eyes and bright and moving. Li Zheng, the concubine of the eight-rank official, entered the third round with her own talent, and everyone's sense of mystery about her has increased unabated, which will see her appearance is even more eye-catching. It's even more difficult to get into the hall of elegance.
Who would have thought that this Li Zheng was dignified and generous, and his appearance belonged to the middle and upper posture, which attracted the attention of many people for a while when he arrived on the field.
However, no matter how beautiful their appearance is, they are still pressed by Shen Nanyanyan, who came later, and when she is the last to stage, others are still impressed by her beauty. It is cold and dusty, as noble as a snow lotus on a snow-capped mountain.
If everyone showed disdain for Shen Nanyan, half of it was because they suspected her of cheating, and the other part was because they were jealous of her beauty.
Rose peony is bright and bright who does not love, life in the world is always a little more vulgar, lost its original color.
And the snow lotus blooms on the top of the cold snow in the high mountains, which is unattainable, noble and alienated, not to be offended, and everyone is naturally full of mystery about her.
"There is no limit to the subject matter of today's poems, please feel free to write poems for all young ladies."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was originally nervous breathed a sigh of relief for them, the subject matter is not limited, and it is very good, and you can conceive it at will.
Although the subject matter is not limited, it must also be novel in order to catch the attention of others and win the championship in one fell swoop.
The poems of the four gentlemen in Yonghua have been done too many times before, and singing the praises of the feelings of the family and the country can arouse the attention of the critics the most, and it will not expire in the past and present, but if it is not written well, it will inevitably make people feel contrived.
This requirement seems to be not difficult, but it is still a little difficult.
Shen Nanyan didn't spend too much time there conceiving the subject matter, thinking of the poems he had read since then, and the idea appeared in his mind.
After observing the other three first, they were still thinking hard, and only Princess Xile had not been writing for long. Shen Nanyan waited there for a while, and only after the rest of the people started writing did he spread out a piece of rice paper and carefully wrote down the poems he had conceived in his mind.
Because there was a queen and a queen who chose it, it was naturally impossible to hand in the poems they wrote for the first time, and after they finished conceiving, they had to copy them on another clean piece of paper and circulate them by the eunuchs.
When the incense burned out three-quarters of the time, the other three began to transcribe it, except for Princess Xile, who had already copied it. The incense burned out, and the three of them also put down their pens together.
This poetry meeting seems to be fair and just, and smart people have already seen the clues of this poetry meeting.
No matter who is brilliant today, the ultimate winner can only be Princess Xile.
Murong Qingyao and Li Zheng were one of them who drew the first round of poems, and the other drew the second round of poems, while Princess Xile easily drew the third round of poems.
Murong Qingyao and Li Zheng are not bad, and they didn't put down the pen for a long time when the incense was halfway through, probably because they had conceived it, and they pretended to be difficult in order to highlight the princess.
What happened to Fang Cai, and Shen Nanyan also knew that it was definitely no coincidence that he was lucky to draw the third round of the lottery today. Today, in order to bring out the princess, if the princess is allowed to draw lots, it will definitely make people see the intention at a glance, because it is necessary to share everyone's attention with a shield.
It is true that she is the shield, she won the third round of the lottery, how can the ladies care why the princess entered the third round, they will only pay attention to why she entered. It is natural for the princess to enter, and she is the fox emperor when she enters.
After that, no matter what the facts are, she will make countless enemies in Kyoto, even if the emperor has the intention to relieve her, everyone will dislike her even more, and in serious cases, she will be criticized by others, saying that she is a demon girl who charms the king, and she is a red face and trouble. Now before entering the palace, the emperor has spoken out, and if he enters the palace, he doesn't know what she will be stirred up by her.
The people who designed this bureau were meticulous in their minds and vicious in their intentions.
